Working memory (WM) is a predictor of school learning. This study aimed to investigate the predictive power of verbal and non-verbal working memory (WM) on students’ performance in arithmetic. 126 children between 6 and 11 years old participated in the research. The instruments were: School Performance Test, Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices, Corsi Block-tapping Test, and Digits Subtest. The results showed strong and positive correlations of school performance with fluid intelligence r = 0.64, with verbal WM and non-verbal WM, both with r = 0.51 (p < 0.001). After multiple linear regression, it was found that the performance in visuospatial WM was a strong predictor for arithmetic, an effect not found for reading. The regression showed that WM explains 38% of the variance for arithmetic. It is concluded that WM has an expressive contribution to school performance, being more specific the contributions of visuospatial WM for arithmetic.
ResumoObjetiva-se analisar as produções de Psicodrama em periódicos brasileiros. O método utilizado foi a revisão sistemática de literatura sobre 98 artigos, publicados em 1996-2014, organizados nas seguintes categorias: ano, tipo de produção, área de discussão, periódico e filiação institucional. Os resultados demonstram: intensificação de produções em 2011-2014, predominância de artigos teóricos, hegemonia de discussões clínicas, concentração de publicações em um periódico e ampla difusão de filiações nacionais e estrangeiras relacionadas aos autores que produziram artigos sobre o Psicodrama. Conclui-se que o Psicodrama tem circulado em meios de divulgação acadêmica no Brasil, ampliando a herança de Jacob Moreno concernente à interface entre conhecimento prático e conhecimento científico.Palavras-chave: Bases de Dados. Psicodrama. Revisão de Literatura.
